Thanks Mark . This had a wrong knob when i got it . I made that one from
scratch and tryed to imaging it and a design one could get a hold of .
After the thing was back together i noticed that knob kinda overlaps the
band escutcheon .

The radio is a powerhouse for sure . The audio is strong and can get
real loud , the bass is quite good for an 8`` speaker . My only other
issue is this replacement grille cloth vibrates against the grille with
bass .

The little escutcheon has white plastic behind it painted colors .
Behind each hole the plastic is raised like a little dome . You probably
already know all that .

That brass band escutcheon with 5 color dots shows up on the 9 and 8 tube
versions of this set too both table or console versions so I am hoping to
find a junker with one someday. I missed one on ebay a couple years ago for
$40.

The "outer" or "back" fast tune knob should be a half ball shape but
slightly larger diameter so you can grasp it from the front easily. The
"inner" or "front" vernier knob should essentially match the other knobs but
it is a little larger I think than the others. All the ball knobs have a
flatted face. I dont have any spares, maybe Dave Frush at
might. I got my back tuning knob from him at Rochester
about 8 years ago. I found my 1055 all beat up in a booth at Elgin around
1997... on the 2nd day! It was quite a mess... the knobs seemed missing
but actually 4 of them were INSIDE the set!
